2463.   [port]          linux: POSIX doesn't include the IPv6 Advanced Socket

			[RT #18054]

	--- 9.5.1b2 released ---

2443.	[bug]		win32: UDP connect() would not generate an event,
			and so connected UDP sockets would never clean up.

			than an io completion port type for UDP.

2442.	[bug]		A lock could be destroyed twice. [RT# 18626]

2441.   [bug]           isc_radix_insert() could copy radix tree nodes

			if an ACL was set to none.

2439.   [bug]           Potential NULL dereference in dns_acl_isanyornone().
                        [RT #18559]
        
2438.	[bug]		Timeouts could be logged incorrectly under win32.
			[RT #18617]

2435.	[bug]		Fixed an ACL memory leak affecting win32.

2434.	[bug]		Fixed a minor error-reporting bug in
			lib/isc/win32/socket.c.

2433.	[tuning]	Set initial timeout to 800ms.

2432.	[bug]		More Windows socket handling improvements.  Stop
			using I/O events and use IO Completion Ports
			throughout.  Rewrite the receive path logic to make
			it easier to support multiple simultaneous
			requesters in the future.  Add stricter consistency
			checking as a compile-time option (define
			ISC_SOCKET_CONSISTENCY_CHECKS; defaults to off).

2431.	[bug]		Acl processing could leak memory. [RT #18323]

2430.	[bug]		win32: isc_interval_set() could round down to
			zero if the input was less than NS_INTERVAL
			nanoseconds.  Round up instead. [RT #18549]

2429.	[doc]		nsupdate should be in section 1 of the man pages.
			[RT #18283]

2428.	[bug]		dns_iptable_merge() mishandled merges of negative
			tables. [RT #18409]

			wrong value if excessively large net masks are
			supplied. [RT #18512]

2425.	[bug]		named didn't detect unavailable query source addresses
			at load time. [RT #18536]

2424.	[port]		configure now probes for a working epoll
			implementation.  Allow the use of kqueue,
			epoll and /dev/poll to be selected at compile
			time. [RT #18277]
			
2422.	[bug]		Handle the special return value of a empty node as
			if it was a NXRRSET in the validator. [RT #18447]

2421.	[func]		Add new command line option '-S' for named to specify
			the max number of sockets. [RT #18493]
			Use caution: this option may not work for some
			operating systems without rebuilding named.

2420.	[bug]		Windows socket handling cleanup.  Let the io
			completion event send out cancelled read/write
			done events, which keeps us from writing to memory
			we no longer have ownership of.  Add debugging
			socket_log() function.  Rework TCP socket handling
			to not leak sockets.

2419.	[cleanup]	Document that isc_socket_create() and isc_socket_open()
			should not be used for isc_sockettype_fdwatch sockets.
			[RT #18521]

2415.	[bug]		'rndc dumpdb' could trigger various assertion failures
			in rbtdb.c. [RT #18455]

2414.	[bug]		A masterdump context held the database lock too long,
			causing various troubles such as dead lock and
			recursive lock acquisition. [RT #18311, #18456]

2413.	[bug]		Fixed an unreachable code path in socket.c. [RT #18442]

2412.	[bug]		win32: address a resourse leak. [RT #18374]

2411.	[bug]		Allow using a larger number of sockets than FD_SETSIZE
			for select().  To enable this, set ISC_SOCKET_MAXSOCKETS
			at compilation time.  [RT #18433]

			Note: with changes #2469 and #2421 above, there is no
			need to tweak ISC_SOCKET_MAXSOCKETS at compilation time
			any more.

2410.	[bug]		Correctly delete m_versionInfo. [RT #18432]

2409.	[bug]		Only log that we disabled EDNS processing if we were
			subsequently successful.  [RT #18029]

2408.	[bug]		A duplicate TCP dispatch event could be sent, which
